    Approximately. I can go a little higher if it's worth it.

    This looks like a badass watch. I should have mentioned, I love the timing bezels. Anybody know what the bezel inlay is for this brand?

    I have also considered this citizen:

    GMT isn't a parameter, but I think it would be fun to have.
    Edit: Kind of hoping for an automatic.
    Edit II: Have read mixed reviews of oris quality control. Mainly some oxidizing hands.

    That's funny. I actually have a variant of that Citizen as my knock around watch. For $150 or so it's a decent watch. The dial is cool and I like the case and Eco-Drive movement. I'll warn you the bezel and date window are absolute crap. Also you can't change straps on it as the case protrudes into the lug area. I'd like it more with a nato.

    Knives are fine. As long as you aren't stabbing someone with it in the pic. And seriously, that's the watch he needs.

    No problem, and that's great news...first thing I did when I joined was read the rules And you're absolutely correct, the GSAR is the perfect watch for the OP.

    4.Images of firearms and personal weapons are not permitted, unless they appear incidentally in a relevant horological or historical context.

    I just didn't want to get in hot water, I was banned at the last place for it(2 weeks, no notice or warning).

    BTW: Are pictures of archery equipment allowed ?(bows that is)
